  1. They may have been “non life threatening injuries”, but we know this 72 year old. woman. She was subsequently flown to MGH. Her upper tibia was shattered in several pieces which surgeons removed and no replaced with a metal plate and screws. She’ll be there a few more days and then on to time in rehab.
    This was not a little bumper tap. Drivers need to slow down and watch the road.
